The school board will take a vote on the “Respectful Learning Environment-Curriculum Policy” during its meeting at 6:30 p.m.

The proposed policy states it is not the school district’s role to take positions on political, religious, social or economic issues.

“Teachers and educational support staff shall not attempt in the course of their professional duties to persuade students to adopt or reject any particular viewpoint with respect to these issues,” the policy states.

In discussion of those issues, the policy states, “district staff shall affirm the dignity and selfworth of all students, regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex/gender, marital status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, age, family care leave status or veteran status.”

Bill, The best part about america Is I get to choose where my daughter is educated. Spanish immersion kids are doing better than their counterparts. Most countries that are now beating us in education teach kids 3-4 languages. I know you’re against change and afraid of what you dont understand. Just remember this will open up Jobs for my kid that you’re child will not have.

Wow, As a mother of 4 children this discussion scares me. To those of you who can’t see past yourself I suggest you start. All children in our schools regardless of their sexual orientation, race or religion deserve the support of their teachers and peers.
